4.54 billion yearsThe "best" age for the Earth is based on the time required for the lead isotopes in four very old lead ores (galena) to have evolved from the composition of lead at the time the Solar System formed, as recorded in the Canyon Diablo iron meteorite. This "model lead age" is 4.54 billion years

The inner planets mercury, Venus, earth, and mars were formed by

VikaD [51]

ANSWER:

About some billion years ago, dust and gas particles began orbiting around the sun.

These particles then began to stick together and formed large particles. Slowly, these particles began attracting more mass with their gravity.

After millions of years, these particles became planetesimals. They started revolving around the sun in their own orbit and formed spherical shapes.

This continued for another millions of years and thus planets were formed.

EXPLANATION:

The inner planets are the four planets that are closest to the sun. The inner and outer planets are separated by asteroid belts.

The "inner planets are terrestrial" and rocky whereas the "outer planets" are mostly gas.
